What would you prefer?
The syntax restriction was put in to prevent constructs like:
DatatypeRestriction(DataComplementOf(xsd:integer)
minExclusive "1"^^xsd:integer)
whose meaning is, at best, unclear.

Figure 5 was updated by Boris in 20 February. It appears to me that the
current version of the figure corresponds to the current version of the
syntax (modulo the facet and value being valid for the datatype).
